Casual question: Has anybody taken their baffles out? Is it very much louder if so?

I think the akra sounds great with them out. Wouldn't want mine much louder tbh.

+1. Best not drop the screws down the pipe tho'....
I did that, had to remove the akroprovik to find them sitting at the bottom of the cat

Took mine out, rode it for a while, put them back in, rode it some more, now I'm thinking of taking them out again.

Yep.Put a rag down the pipe first, to catch the screws in case they slip.
... Or practice your wheelies
They are not really baffles in the true sense - just restrict the size of the outlets a bit. Certainly not too noisy with them out

Errr
Your right thats not a baffle. Baffled now....

The dealer told me that mine were still in place and told me how to remove them, but when I looked into the can I could see all the way inside it so assumed that the baffles were not fitted. The bike also sounds quite fruity (delivery of the Akrapovic was delayed so spent up to the first service riding on the standard can, therefore had a reference), so was meaning to speak to the dealer about the whereabouts of my baffles - but after reading the previous posts I'm now thinking that mine might actually be still in place?! Although, I have to agree with Paul S and Bigtrucknuts... they aren't really baffles! Guess I'm going to have to remove them and find out what it sounds like? I don't want it too loud though!
Why would you want to the demo I took out was fitted with an Akra sports pipe and IT WAS FAR TOO BLOODY LOUD !

Akrapovic don't call them baffles, they are "Noise Inserts"

I much prefer the other name for them - dB Killers !
So by taking them out you have saved the lives of lots of little dBs which would have otherwise met their end

Not wanting to really insult but some of you guys really lack mechanical knowledge at a very basic level. I now understand why so many on this site have problems with changing gears . Understanding the restrictors and how to remove is not rocket science and should have been discovered by anyone that is a competent handler of motorcycles. They are easy to put in or pull out and as such observe noise levels. Mine have never been in except for the ride home !
